1. Excellent numbers, just wish they'd stop including Biden into the polls

until he is in. If he's not even running, they shouldn't bother polling. The Biden voters will become Bernie voters - no chance of going to Clinton.

2. Funny Biden tops Bernie.

Is this going to be a race between Hillary and Joe?

4. No, he's a diversion from what's really going on, or Down .

5. Biden probably takes 7-8 points from Bernie and HRC in a bellweather state

after the announcement so the numbers will probably read something like Biden 40 HRC 29, Bernie-- somewhere in the middle teens

7. If he enters the race, yes.

If Biden enters the race, Clinton still probably wins but Biden would put up a fight. If Biden doesn't enter the race, Clinton is going to dominate on Super Tuesday and most other days. If Sanders can win southern and midwestern states (other than Iowa), I'll be shocked.

3. Biden is a tactic to put shade on Hillary and her fall daily, Machine think-tanking by brokers,

probably worked for Monsanto once .

6. Missouri is a caucus state.

Candidates who's supporters are the most committed win caucuses. We are building the local grassroots organization that will make sure our voters are there.
